Fancy Action Bar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.7
by: andy.s [More]
This addon shows both weapon bars and tracks durations of your active skills. Its main goal is to be as lightweight as possible and fine tune each tracked ability to show only most useful effects.

Features

1. Highlighted active skills and current weapon bar.
2. Instant swap animation. No more boring flipping icons.
3. Fine tuned abilities like Teleport Strike (show Minor Vulnerability applied by it), Focused Aim (Minor Fracture), Shadow Image (stop countdown after you port to your shade), etc.
4. Gamepad mode support.
5. High performance, which adds some limitations though (read below).

Missing features

1. This addon doesn't track ultimate duration. I'm still not sure if it's needed, and also showing both ultimates won't look neat due to their special button visuals, especially in gamepad mode.
2. The addon doesn't track your enemies debuffs, so if some abilities are purged or dodged, they will keep ticking on your bar. I'm not planning to change this behavior now, because I want to keep the addon as lightweight as possible.

If you want to move action bar, then I recommend using Azurah. There is no point to add this feature to the addon, because it will obviously conflict with other addons which allow to move UI elements. Note: Azurah re-enables weapon swap icon by default, so you will need to hide it in it's settings (Action Bar tab).
2.7
- Fixed UI error brought by High Isle update.
- Power of the Light shows 6 seconds duration by default now. It can be disabled in the addon settings (which will make it 9 seconds again).

2.6
- Fixed fake Crystal Fragments proc (internal game bug?), which could start and end at the same moment, but the timer kept ticking.
- Ability Bar Timers are re-enabled automatically now. The addon needs this setting to track some abilities since Waking Flame API update.

2.5
- Some fixes for Waking Flame. IMPORTANT: Due to ZOS changes to API once again the addon now requires Ability Bar Timers to be enabled, otherwise the required in-game event doesn't happen and some timers don't work. I did my best to get rid of default timers and stuff, but feel free to report any issues you find.

2.4
- Fixed a variety of skills not tracked properly by ZOS. Note: the addon uses ESO API functions to get abilities' remaining durations once they are cast. If something is not tracked properly, then it's not a bug in FAB, but I can adjust it manually until it's fixed by the game devs.

2.3
- Fixed Ring of Preservation duration.

2.2
- Removed most of the custom settings for skills from config.lua and replaced them with the new API functions, although there are still enough skills which are not tracked properly with the new ability bar timers and need to be handled manually.
- Due to the changes above, all skills granting the same effect are tracked separately now, e.g. taunts, major resolve, evasion, etc.
- Seething Fury countdown now stops after using Molten Whip (which removes this effect from player).

2.1
- Fixed UI error on log in triggered by a causeless in-game weapon swap event before player activation.

2.0
- Timers are back on PTS!
- Expanded addon settings to fine-tune numbers and buttons to your liking (opacity, desaturation, colors, decimal numbers).
- It's now possible to always keep the active bar above the back bar when you swap weapons (the very first option in the addon settings).
- Bug fixes and ability updates.

1.1.3
- Fixed Subterranean Assault duration.
- Added Minor Berserk tracking to Camouflaged Hunter.

1.1.2
- Updated some abilities ids to work with Markarth DLC (sorry, don't have time for more features atm).

1.1.1
- Added Burning Talons DoT timer.

1.1.0
- Added tracking of different stacks, like Grim Focus, Bound Armaments, etc. Note: Stone Giant stacks are only tracked in Harrowstorm, because the skill was changed there.
- Fixed buggy icons when using a special action bar like Werewolf, Frostvault skeever bar, etc.
- Fixed some durations.
- Fixed an empty action bar after /reloadui.
- Switching between Gamepad and Keyboard modes doesn't reload UI anymore (but it's possible that under some circumstances action bars won't be aligned perfectly).

Seeing the same behavior on PC with mouse / keyboard.

Also love the addon and hope it's updated.

I was able to get Fancy Action Bar working, by identifying issues with the embedded libs with other addons that also touch the action bar / cooldowns.

IOW, Fancy Action Bar is fine, it's other addons that are causing the issue.

Steps to fix:
1. install Bug Catcher
2. open up Bug Catcher (/bugs), then wipe all bugs
3. swap to 2nd action bar, use an ability that causes icons on the 1st bar to mess up
4. swap back to the 1st action bar
5. open up Bug Catcher (/bugs)
5. go through each bug, and see which addons have an embedded lib that was causing the issue, and delete the embedded libs. You may need to install the lib as a separate addon (i.e. the proper way to maintain libs). Alternatively, you can disable the offending addon

I'm sorry to hear you have some issues, but AFAIK they all are caused by other addons throwing LUA errors, so identify them and report to their authors. This addon is innocent

Would it be possible to switch the Primary and Backbar positions? Frontbar at bottom, Backbar at top?

Gamepad and Bandit question

so is there any reason why when using BanditsUI and switching from gamepad mode to mouse and keyboard it would make the bar sit in the middle of UI? opening the map or inventory fixes it, but say I want to swap skills and gear using alpha to which I have a hot key, or check out a skill using mouse and keyboard it gets kind of tedious. is there anything I'm not disabling? or is it just incompatible cause of Gamepad?

I started using this addon. I like it very much!
But I discovered, that when I have the two (Fancy) bars active, together with the ESO native option to show buffs on my character, then I can't see the command/request to activate synergies (X) anymore. Which makes me miss them quite a lot.
Any idea how I could fix this?

Видимо, там какой-то другой бафф длится 20 секунд, и зосы предпочитают показывать его. Если 8 секундный полезнее, то изменю (вообще не помню, что каждый из них даёт )
